I Heart Macro – Pussy Willows

Its time for another ♥ I Heart Macro Sunday! ♥

We had a huge storm here about a month ago. Branches and trees blew down all over the city. We live near a wetland area, where pussy willows grow large; happy to have their feet wet all the time. Pussy willow branches broke off in the storm and littered the sides of our little country road.

I discovered that even when pussy willows have been snapped off from the tree and even when they’ve laid on the ground for 2 or 3 weeks, the downed branches still have enough life in them to put forth pussy willows and continue the cycle of life.

There is a lesson here for me. Although at times I may feel broken by life’s storms; although I feel that pieces of me lay scattered on the ground; there is still life within me. I can summon that life to grow anew. I can go on.
